Marseille meeting

Asked about the Chancellor’s thinking as he headed into G7 meetings in Marseille, the Prime Minister’s Spokesperson (PMS) said the Chancellor had set out his views in a speech on Tuesday.

Put that some people were interpreting what the Head of the IMF said this morning as suggesting that those who cut the deficit too quickly were unwise while other people were saying that she had been fully supportive, the PMS said that she had said our policy stance was appropriate.
